The Legolas, as I recall it, was a RBW CX bike. Thin walled tubing, snappy handling, higher BB. Not a tourer, but a neat design. They had to stop production I believe because of a C/D from the Tolkien estate?

Does any one here know which Riv Reader it's scouting report is best profiled within, and as a bonus, anyone have a 61cm F/F that they are looking to sell?

Thanks,

Tim

Hey Tim: Here’s a snapshot of “Keven’s Legolas” from my RR39, Spring 2007, that has some info on the Legolas.

Tim I can't answer your question about which Reader profiled the Legolas.  I can tell you that they are a very lovely bike,  always a pleasure to ride and nice to look at.   Mine is a 61 and I don't plan to sell it,  but can share some pictures:

It is indeed a lovely bike and maybe my favorite Rivendell moniker. I wouldn't get rid of it either!

That's a great build, Max. Thanks.
